This is an excerpt from Therapeutic Stretching by Jane Johnson.
Tight Hamstrings
There are many reasons for tightness to develop in the posterior thigh. It is commonly reported by runners and people regularly engaged in sports involving the lower limbs, such as tennis or rowing. Shortening of soft tissues of the posterior compartment of the thigh and knee is also likely to occur in people who remain seated for long periods of time, such as drivers, office workers or people who lead sedentary lifestyles. Both active and passive stretches are helpful in combating tight hamstrings.
Active stretches
There are a great many active hamstring stretches to choose from. These range from the simple sitting stretches shown in figures 5.7, 5.10 and 5.26 to standing stretches such as figure 5.11, which increases tension on the posterior thigh by also tensioning the calf muscles. In the supine position the client could use a towel, as in figure 5.28. Bear in mind that dorsiflexing the foot in this way also stretches the calf, and for some clients this may feel uncomfortable.
Remember that the hamstrings are hip extensors, so taking the hip into flexion, as in figure 5.29, will also help stretch these muscles. In this illustration the hamstrings of the right leg are being stretched because this is the hip that has been taken into flexion. Clients with knee problems should avoid this stretch, which places pressure on the knee opposite the thigh being stretched.
Clients who do not wish to do their stretches on the floor could simply try placing one leg on a stool and leaning forward to stretch the hamstrings of that limb. Obviously this is not appropriate for clients with impaired balance.
Less common but arguably just as effective ways to stretch the hamstrings are to apply active soft tissue release as in figures 5.30 and 5.31. Simply provide the client with a tennis ball, and show him how to position it against the thigh (as shown in figure 5.30) and then straighten the leg. The client can move the tennis ball to different positions on the hamstrings in this way, applying this technique for a few minutes each day.

Allow users to rename Inbox
waldir.leoncio says:
I don't know if more users do this, but I use my lists as project tabs, and in the Inbox I keep tasks that are not related to any particular project. I would very much like to be able to rename it to "Day-to-day" or something that would be better suited for my needs. Anyone with me?
fpoeydomenge says:
I'd also like to rename my inbox, because in french "Boîte de reception" makes a really long tab and i'd prefere rename it to something shorter...
waldir.leoncio says:
Long tab names are a problem. One thing you could try to work around that is to use the A Bit Better RTM extension.

Merino Wool is a great natural insulator; breathable in summer and insulating in winter. It maintains a soft feel along with high levels of breathability and odour resistance in lightweight fibres. Bet you thought Merino couldn't get any better . . . Enter Merino+.
Merino+ is the perfect fusion of natural super fine Merino and 37.5 technology. The superfine merino is a lighter and more comfortable yarn (the finer the grade, the less likely it is to itch). The 37.5 technology keeps it smelling fresh and improves drying time.
Merino+ is available in 120 and 160 weight fabrics. The number refers to the grams per m2, so the Merino+ 160 is warmer and heavier than the Merino+ 120. The 160 garments are better suited to cooler conditions and the 120 garments are better suited to milder conditions. Both excellent for day to day use.

Napier sanctuary wants its animals back | News
Bradenton, Florida -- A follow up to a 10 News investigation regarding the Napier Log Cabin Horse and Animal Sanctuary in East Manatee County, where deputies removed more than 300 animals earlier this month.
In a court hearing on Monday, the Napiers agreed to allow the Manatee Sheriff's Office to spay and neuter the animals that are now in foster homes or being cared for at other animal rescues.
Attorney Peter Lombardo also told reporters after the hearing that his clients want their animals back and they want to continue operating the animal sanctuary.
Alan and Sheree Napier filed for bankruptcy on February 18, a few hours before their home went on the auction block due to foreclosure. Since then, the Napiers have been seen at the property cleaning it up. There are bags of trash out front, filled with dog food boxes and feed bags.
"It's a rough time that they are going through," said Lombardo.
Manatee Sheriff's deputies conducted a raid of Napier's Horse and Animal Sanctuary on February 5 while the couple was on a cruise for their 27th wedding anniversary.
Lombardo said, "They think it's completely unfair. They want the animals. They'd like to have the option of donating the animals out."
Deputies removed more than 300 animals for alleged animal abuse and neglect, and poor living conditions.
STORY: Manatee animal sanctuary investigation continues
According to the search warrant and petition filed by the Manatee Sheriff's Office on February 14th seeking custody of the animals, 12 animals were euthanized on-site, 20 animals were found buried in a shallow grave, a dozen dog bones were found in a burn pit, and deputies found an unknown number of dogs in a feed bag.
The search warrant also shows some of the animals suffered from ear/nose/eye infections, urine scalding, malnourishment, dehydration, anemia, lethargy, diarrhea, dental disease, corneal ulcers, external and internal parasites, fleas, lice and mange.
"We're talking about a rescue they. Take in sick animals, some got better, some didn't get better. All taken care of, given vet care. Like people, some of the animals passed away," explained Lombardo.
"It died a year later from kidney failure," said John Brower, referring to a dog he said he and Christopher Wilhelm bought from Napier in 2011. The men say they found the Pomeranian, named Mia, on Pet Finder and paid Napier $350. The dog was a gift for their elderly neighbor who had recently lost her dog.
"We drove in, they brought the dog out to the picnic table up front, and wouldn't let us pass it," said Brower.
"This looked like a rat with mange hair, most of it missing. It was cute in a sad, pathetic way," said Wilhelm.
Brower said the dog turned out to be diabetic, had intestinal worms, and was infested with fleas. They groomed Mia before giving it to their neighbor. But at the time of the purchase, Brower said he bought the dog to save it.
"My thought... rescue the dog. Rescue the dog from the rescue."
The Manatee Sheriff's Office is trying to gain legal custody of the animals, saying the Napiers are not fit to care for them. The Napiers' attorney said his clients want their animals back and plan to reopen the animal sanctuary.
Lombardo said, "They've been in business for nine years. Animal Services never had an issue with him. Animals Services was out on December 17, saw 100 dogs, didn't take any away or site Napier for anything."
10 News obtained through a public records request photos of that December 17 inspection. According to the inspection report, Manatee County Animal Services visited Napier's on 12/10/13 and 12/12/13. Both times, no one came out to the locked gate, notices were posted, and phone messages left. Inspectors returned on December 17 and reported Alan and Sheree Napier guiding them through the property.
Inspector Jerry Hill wrote in the report, "Although the conditions are not the best here at Napiers, they do fall under the county and state requirements."
Hill indicated in his report he asked if there were animals in the house and was told no. Deputies found dozens of animals stacked in kennels inside the Napier's home nearly two months later.
The custody hearing for the animals will be March 12. Both attorneys agree the hearing will take two days.

Karl Kreder, Urology, 319-353-8771
Grant to help lower-urinary tract sufferers
Grant to help lower-urinary tract sufferers
Grant to help lower-urinary tract sufferers
Lower-urinary tract dysfunction is a pretty common condition, affecting millions of men and women in the United States. Yet despite its prevalence, specialists have struggled with prescribing treatment that fully satisfies their patients.
"That's the shortcoming (with current practice)," says Karl Kreder, M.D., professor and head of urology with University of Iowa Health Care. "It doesn't equate to patients' quality of life and how they view this disease."
Karl Kreder
Kreder and colleagues at the UI are leading an effort to bridge the gap between lower-urinary tract dysfunction diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes. The UI team, along with Duke University and Northwestern University, is creating a detailed questionnaire to better match a physician's take and prescription on treating lower-urinary tract dysfunction with patients' reports on their condition. The $1.8 million, five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health also will go toward better understanding how people with lower-urinary tract dysfunction differ from one another, known as phenotyping, with the aim to better match treatment to a particular person.
"It gets into individualized medicine and to see how people respond to one type of therapy or another," Kreder explains.
The idea behind the questionnaire is to chart a patient's response to physician-prescribed treatment and evaluate whether they feel better. This is important, because lower-urinary tract dysfunction can manifest itself in myriad ways, including the urgency and frequency (or lack thereof) to urinate, bladder sensation, and leaking. Each symptom can have a different cause, creating a puzzle of sorts where one treatment does not fit all. This "pathophysiology," as specialists put it, is critical to tease out to administer the correct treatment option for each patient, and where the patient is satisfied the condition has been corrected.
The UI, Duke, and Northwestern team is charged with creating the questionnaire and surveying some 600 male and female patients nationwide, as well as determining the appropriate tools to evaluate responses and to classify patients according to symptoms.
Catherine Bradley
The questionnaire is more involved than one might assume. First, it will be more relevant for women, whereas initial surveys targeted mostly men with urinary-tract conditions related to prostate problems, says Catherine Bradley, M.D., UI associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology and epidemiology and a co-principal investigator on the grant who is leading the questionnaire's creation.
The questionnaire also will aim to compare people whose lower-urinary tract dysfunction may be caused by outside influences, such as trauma, stress, or psychological problems, from others with the condition.
From that phenotypic catalog, the researchers hope to be able to establish biomarkers, or what is happening in the body to trigger certain symptoms of the disease. If they can do that, then they can test which treatment is best suited for a given symptom.
"We're going to be able to account for symptoms—how severe they are, how much they bother people, and what impact on quality of life they have," Bradley notes. "Do they impact what people want to do in their everyday lives, impact sexual function, or impact patients' moods, by causing frustration or embarrassment."

'From the Heart of the Church'
There has been encouraging news lately for those of us who are concerned with strengthening the Catholic identity of Catholic colleges and universities.
As the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops reported Jan. 20, bishops and Catholic college and university presidents will undertake a 10-year review of the 2001 norms guiding the American application of Ex Corde Ecclesiae, Pope John Paul II's 1990 letter on Catholic education. The bishops plan to discuss the specifics of how best to promote Catholic mission and identity on college campuses.
Anyone who kept tabs on developments throughout the 1990s will recall the sometimes fierce battles involving implementation of Ex Corde in the United States, with some theologians resisting any suggestion that bishops would try to control how they taught.
It took nine years to come up with "The Application of Ex Corde Ecclesiae for the United States" and another two years to see it become "particular law" governing Catholic colleges in the U.S.
Much of the tussle was over the requirement that Catholic theologians teaching Catholic theology in Catholic institutions of higher learning have a mandatum from the bishop, showing that they are teaching in communion with the Church. Some happily applied for it, while others publicly declared that they would never do so. Some Catholic colleges reported that all their teachers have a mandatum, while other university leaders insisted that information on who has one and who does not is confidential information — that it was between the theologian and the bishop.
But it has become clear over the years that the Church in no way wants theologians to become simply catechists. She respects the free inquiry in which they are engaged.
Bishop Gerald Kicanas of Tucson, Ariz., in a recent address to the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities, said the mandatum is one of the aspects of Ex Corde that still needs to be more fully implemented. He said the inconsistency with which it is sought "could reflect some distrust or concern about undue interference or not seeing the importance of doing it."
Bishop Kicanas stressed that involving the bishop with faculty members who teach Catholic theology is "critical to true communion in the Church." He said there is room in academic communities for "disagreement, debate and clash of ideas, even in theology," but, ultimately, the bishop "is the authentic teacher of the faith" and is responsible for how that faith is interpreted.
In the end, the issue boils down to the salvation of souls.
What are Catholic colleges and universities doing to help students on their way to salvation? What are they doing to help their future graduates bring the saving message of the Gospel to the world in which they will work?
It is this that should be kept in the background as the review proceeds.

- Stocks To Watch
Shutdown Ends, S&P 500 Hits New All-Time High
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
What started off as a bummer of a day turned back into a party.
The S&P 500 gained 0.7% to 1,73.15, a new all-time closing high. The Dow Jones Industrials finished little changed at 15,371.65.
This, from Citigroup's Dirk Willer, sums up the vibe:
Interesting... so we got negative earnings from [
Goldman Sachs
International Business Machines
). And SPX doing very well. You can argue that EBAY does not have broad relevance to market, and that GS is really a quarter to quarter thing, where earnings this quarter tell us little about next quarter (trading), but IBM is a big deal as it is a good measure of spending on IT. So SPX performance very impressive, even though it is driven to some extent by defensives/ rates plays (utilities, telcos etc). This is a good sign. The market wants to go up into year end.
Standard & Poor's Howard Silverblatt looks ahead to what comes next:
The market demonstrated some relief as the government offices opened and more money started to be borrowed – back to the bad old day, which we now love and adore. If you liked the show, the continuing rerun starts next quarter. But if you didn't like it, not to worry, a long-term solution is being worked on and is due on December 13 – that's Friday the 13 (historical the market is up 52.1% of the time, but on Friday the 13 it is up 56.6% of the time).
Guggenheim's Scott Minerd says investors should be buying stocks:
Equity markets anticipate events about six months in advance, which means now could be a favorable time to consider increasing allocations to stocks. The first game of the World Series – hopefully the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Boston Red Sox this year – is normally a solid entry point for equities.
Against this backdrop, the international investment picture is also improving, and we could be entering a period of substantial improvement for risk assets across the globe. In addition to turning more bullish on U.S. stocks, I remain bullish on emerging markets, and I am still heavily bullish on European equities, which remain more than a third lower than their 2007 highs. I am also bullish on fixed-income – corporate rather than sovereign debt – and believe credit spreads have further room to tighten. The current environment looks favorable for risk assets into the second quarter of next year.
Looks like investors already are. American Express (AXP) rose 5.1% to $80.23 after it reported a profit of $1.25 a share, beating estimates of $1.22 on stronger corporate spending. PPG Industries (PPG), meanwhile, rose 5% to $174.47 after reporting a profit of $2.44, ahead of $2.34 forecasts. Newmont Mining (NEM) rose 4.6% to $27.06 as gold surged higher
Still, there were more than a few big losers today. Range Resources (RRC) fell 3.2% to $78.54 after it released record production numbers but lower selling prices, while StanleyBlack & Decker (SWK) dropped 3.1% to $74.37 after it was cut to Neutral from Outperform by Credit Suisse, a day after releasing disappointing earnings.

One interesting thing Clayton said is that apparently when Favre retired from the Jets he told someone there that if he ever played again, the only team he'd play for would be Minnesota. Tony Dungy somehow told Chris Mortensen that if the Favre/Childress meeting actually takes place, chances are better than 50/50 Favre sports an incredibly ugly purple uniform this year. I'm not liking where this is going.
If Favre comes back, I'll say it again, I won't be too excited to play the Vikings. I think they would be very good. I heard a ton of people on Homer's show (ESPN Radio Milwaukee) going on and on about how bad he'll be and how we'll finally get to be on the receiving end of his errant passes. I do hope that happens, but I doubt it. For 2009, assuming he will be healthy again by the beginning of the season, I think it's more likely that Favre will make the Vikings better. Even though I still don't think Tarvaris is that bad, the Vikes, like the Bears have not had much confidence in the QB position for a while now. Like the Bears acquiring Cutler, the Vikes acquiring Favre could have a massive impact on the team's self-esteem.
From an Xs and Os standpoint, apparently the offense of Childress and Bevell is very similar to Mike Sherman's offense with pieces of Mike Holmgren's offense sprinkled in there too. So, it won't be totally starting over for Favre at all. I think it's also possible that Favre may not feel the need to press and make stupid throws as much because of the damage his superstar RB Adrian Peterson does on most plays. If this were 2008, I could have said "at least he doesn't have anyone to throw to" but this year, I really believe Percy Harvin could cause fits for teams and TE Visanthe Shiancoe came on last year and proved he may have been worth the huge contract he signed a few years ago. Even though Favre did chunk it toward the end last year for the Jets (of course, so did the rest of the team – especially the running game folks), the Jets had a winning season after having a 4-12 record. Favre wins and he always has (1 losing season in all his years) – so from the perspective of a Packer fan who just wants his team to win, I don't want Favre going to Minnesota because it could very well interfere with the my plan for the Packes to make the playoffs. (And yes, it's possible Favre could steer the Vikes to the playoffs only to choke badly due to diminished mental strength, but that won't give me any satisfaction if the Pack doesn't get to the playoffs.)

Business Intelligence Trumps FacebookBy Guy Currier Print
While social networking may be a hot topic, finding a way to make sense of all that data with BI systems will be the 2nd biggest tech trend of 2011, says Baseline research.
In 2010, organizations recognized the enormous, valuable data resource social networking had unleashed.
In 2011, they expect to take stock of this resource, making sure their analytics fall into line. The development of social networking and collaboration applications for the enterprise will continue: Roughly 30 percent of the organizations we surveyed expect new or increased deployment of each in 2011.
But the enthusiasm is for business analytics and knowledge management, where nearly two-thirds of new commitments are expected to be at a strong or very strong level.
Business intelligence (BI) systems are likely to see deployment growth: Our survey showed about 9 percent more organizations expecting significant deployments in 2011, compared with last year's survey. And it's high on end-users' and finance's wish lists. The driver of this interest seems to be the need to corral all these new, usually disorganized information sources.
"Some social networking techniques will clearly impact all users, and deployments will continue at their own pace -- independent of corporate intent," says Bill Bosler, CIO at Texas Consultants, which recently designed an ambitious BI tool as part of a new oil refinery project in the Middle East. "There will be plenty of action on the analytics side, crunching all the new real-time data collected by both new and traditional means, and anticipating and mitigating challenges before they occur."

No one ever thinks their child or loved one will develop an eating disorder. But if that happens, you will need to understand the illness and how you can support the recovery process. Our Resource Center is filled with tips, checklists and information to educate and inform you on how to take care of your loved one – and yourself.
Eating Recovery Center
I remember one of my counseling professors say that an eating disorder is harder to recover from than alcoholism or a drug addiction. That stuck in the front of my brain and scared me to death. Anyway, it's a year later, and I'm so thankful for ERC and everyone there that played and plays a role in her recovery. I'm so thankful! I remember crying and Beth saying, "You'll get your daughter back." We have her back and better than she was prior to all this. She now has tools in her belt to last a lifetime. There are so many that I owe a thank you to like Beth, Amber, Christine, you, the nurse, etc.
Gigi F.
parent of an Eating Recovery Center patient
This is my third Family Days in three months. I was a bit apprehensive about attending a third—would I be bored? But each time I've come I learned more or learned more deeply or understood on a different level. Having a child with anorexia is so exhausting—mentally, emotionally, financially—and coming here and learning gives me a sense of strength and purpose. I'm also sustained by the knowledge level and what dedicated and intelligent and caring professionals you are!
parent of Eating Recovery Center patient
It is so helpful to not have to grope around in the dark with so many of the issues of a complicated disease that threatens the life and well being of those you hold most dear to your heart. Family Days gives me knowledge that serves as a tool to not only help us as parents, but to help us better support our loved ones.
Beverly K.
My daughter's team at Eating Recovery Center worked impeccably together to serve her recovery. They were innovative, focused, kind, steadfast and highly attuned to my daughter. She received not only healing that was life saving but education this is foundational for positive entry into young adulthood. If your child needs inpatient treatment, Eating Recovery Center is the place to go!
Melissa M.
After four years of closed doors for recovery via inpatient treatment for my daughter who had relapsed after 15 years of walking in recovery, I found hope for her recovery through the program offered at Eating Recovery Center. My husband and our adult children received similar hope through family therapy and Family Days experiences. I am grateful especially because another relapse in my daughter's life might prove to be fatal due to her long term battle to recovery. I am trusting that ERC can help patients who come to have a "successful" (not perfect) recovery when there has not been "success" in previous programs.
Mary K.
I was so impressed with Eating Recovery Center and my daughter's team there. The communication was amazing; we love each and every one of her treatment team members. I was so impressed with the parent education, it has been very helpful. We had full confidence in Eating Recovery Center and I am thankful that we were able to come there for treatment, I just wish we would have come there sooner!
Shelley C.
My daughter received outstanding care and treatment from ERC on two separate occasions having to address two separate issues; the first was anorexia, and the second was bulimia. I am indebted to her treatment team who brought insight, wisdom and genuine interest to her treatment. The daily educational sessions and Family Days empowered me to confront her eating disorder. Recovery is possible.
Beth Ayn S.
I remember the first day we came to the center, we were all lost confused and scared. Thank you for the constant care and encouragement, for listening for our needs as a family, for believing in recovery and in our family's ability to heal and work together.
These last two months feel like a whole year, so much have happened and changed, our daughter has changed, and having her at home is such a milestone. It feels good. So nice to have our real daughter back!
Even though there is still a lot ahead of us, I feel that she is stronger in herself, and I feel stronger in my ability to support her thanks to your help and the resourceful family days, that was priceless! Witnessing so much pain and suffering must make your job one of the hardest jobs and I appreciate your presence, dedication and perseverance.
Eeris K.
Our daughter's odyssey with anorexia has been one of hills and valleys. We had already placed her in one program that had just given us temporary relief. Within a year the anorexia had come roaring back. This time we more carefully considered various treatment programs—each patient is different, each program is different. We felt that Eating Recovery Center was the best fit for our daughter's situation. I count us blessed because we made the right decision! There is no magic bullet for anorexia. But Eating Recovery stopped the downward spiral and gave my daughter some precious time to regain some weight and learn appropriate coping skills. If you were to ask our daughter today, one year out, she would say she still hated the program. However, we can tell some major differences that have taken hold:
1. She has maintained an overall healthy weight.
2. She feels much more in control of her life.
3. She has taken responsibility for her actions.
4. She finally is engaging in counseling.
These things may seem minor to those who have not struggled with anorexia, but for our daughter these are huge differences in her outlook on life. She still continues to wrestle with the demons of her eating disorder, but we feel more optimistic as time has passed. Anorexia is like a giant ship—you can't change course on a dime. Eating Recovery was like turning the wheel hard to starboard. Initially, the changes were small (with lots of anger!). But as time goes by, we have seen a significant course outlook. Part of this is due to the intensity of this program, part is due to the philosophy that anorexia is a family disorder. If we had brought are daughter home to the same environment (like we did last time), we would have returned to the exact same spot. The changes were not easy, and didn't happen overnight. It was hard work for the entire family. But with time, we are beginning to have hope that this addiction may be defeated.
Diane L.
We have drifted away from shaming and blaming of families and have moved toward an understanding that families are an integral part of eating disorders treatment, not only in helping an individual respond well to treatment, but also go onto lasting recovery.

Slayer, Pantera, Megadeth, Anthrax Members + More Rock Metal Masters 5 [Videos]
Last night (Jan. 22), metalheads were treated to the fifth installment of Metal Masters. Boasting a lineup of brilliant musicians, the 11 legendary players tore through 22 songs for a captivated Anaheim, Calif., audience. If you were unable to check out Metal Masters 5 in person, no worries! We've got some fan-filmed footage to share with you here.
Members of Pantera, Slayer, Down, Megadeth, Anthrax, Exodus, Testament, the Winery Dogs + more were all featured performers at MM5, jamming classics such as Slayer's 'Angel of Death,' Iron Maiden's 'Wrathchild' and Pantera's 'F---ing Hostile,' the last of which featured all 11 featured players.
"Metal Masters started out as two bassists [Anthrax's Frank Bello + Megadeth's David Ellefson] teaching a clinic and has gone on to become a spectacle that includes some of the greatest musicians that defined a genre" says Samson's Director of Marketing and Metal Masters founder, Mark Menghi. "What better way to learn, than seeing these amazing performers up close and personal teaching their own personal techniques of the trade. Metal Masters has always been about doing something special for the fans and that will never go away."

V4L Test Suite
Code to test other code.
If you need a test, look here.
If you create a new test, add it here.
If you know of a test that is not listed, please add it.
Test Driver
VIVI - Virtual Video Driver
A real v4l2 device driver with no physical hardware. This means anyone can use it (it is part of the Linux kernel: modprobe vivi).
If your application has problems with a specific device driver, try using vivi instead. If you still have a problem, it is much more likely to be a problem with the application than with the driver. Knowing where to look is a big help in fixing problems.
However, vivi is not
- perfect. Not surprising given it doesn't get the amount of real world use that real drivers do.
- feature complete. It does not implement every interface of the v4l2 spec.
But it is something anyone can run, so it makes reproducing some problems possible that would otherwise be impossible without the specific hardware.
Test applications
Simple programs that test various functionality of a driver.
There are many small test apps that seem to have been written to help isolate an existing problem, as opposed to actively looking for problems. This means the tests make assumptions about what is/isn't supported, which can cause false problems when someone else uses them in a different environment. For instance, a test should not be run unless the driver advertises suppport for it. This means all tests should first xioctl(fd, VIDIOC_QUERYCAP, &cap) and test cap.capabilities to see if the rest of the test is applicable. (note I said 'should' - This does not mean you shouldn't post your test code it it does not comply - something is better than nothing.)

The local Open Space Foundation held a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday for the Dr. Joe Cortese Dog Park, which is scheduled to open in April.
The $150,000 project is on 2½ acres at 30291 Camino Capistrano, in the city's northwest open space.
The foundation is spearheading the project and received funding from donors including the Capistrano Animal Rescue Effort.

Wiesbaden's first orthopaedic recuperation facility opened way back in 1836. The city's long tradition as a centre of healing has much to do with its 26 hot springs.
They earned the regional capital of Hessen international fame as a spa resort in the 19th century. At the turn of the century there were already several clinics operating in the former ducal town, carrying its reputation as a spa town out into the wider world.
In the footsteps of the Romans
Today the hot springs are an essential element of medicinal and balneological treatments for patients with various complaints. As a result there are numerous specialist hospitals and rehabilitation centres in Wiesbaden, and the city is a recognised centre for the treatment of rheumatic and orthopaedic diseases.
High-calibre wellness treatments
In addition to Wiesbaden's range of medical treatments, many hotels boast access to their own thermal springs and offer a varied range of relaxing wellness therapies. Spa complexes such as the Kaiser-Friedrich and Aukammtal thermal baths offer visitors the chance of some serious rest and relaxation. The high standard of healthcare, combined with outstanding wellness facilities, has made Wiesbaden a superlative holiday destination.
Moreover the Hessian capital, situated as it is in the heart of Germany, is particularly easy to reach with a well-developed infrastructure. The city can also be proud of its entertainment and leisure activities that cater to every desire.

30 years in the game and still going strong: De La Soul are unique in hip-hop. They've never split up; they've never stopped making music; they've never stopped performing. Crucially, their output has rarely faltered, and they're still making vital music to this day.
The New York trio began life with their cut 'n' paste, collage sound in the late-'80s to great acclaim with 'Three Feet High & Rising'—one of the genre's all-time classic. Sampling everything from Johnny Cash to nursery rhyme records to Barry White and Liberace, they pushed hip-hop into fertile new ground where the source material wasn't restricted to instrumental breaks. In doing so, they paved the way for the likes of DJ Shadow, Wu-Tang Clan and countless others.
"We were willing to listen to everything. We were raised on that."
Their eclectic approach to source material continues to this day. New Kickstarter-funded album '…and the Anonymous Nobody' saw them record hundreds of hours of session musicians and collaborators and create samples from what they captured—making for a tongue-in-cheek reference to the litigation they faced for uncleared music use on their 1989 debut.
From Damon Albarn—who helped drive their desire to work with other artists when he brought them into his Gorillaz project—to Pete Rock, Estelle, Snoop Dogg, David Byrne and even The Darkness' Justin Hawkins, it's an incredibly varied list of conspirators that helps make the new record such a rich listen.
London DJ, Tayo Popoola, spoke with Pos, Dave and Maseo ahead of their listening party at Sonos Studio to hear about the album, their early days of sharing music in their homes and how their eclectic nature was formed. Check it out below:

Just as Public Safety gears up for another round of NSLOPPY first-years, Bwog has received word that the spring concert organized by Bacchanal (a student organization run through ABC that is also responsible for Lowlapalooza) is under administrative review.
Citing "safety concerns associated with drinking and sexual harrassment," the four undergraduate deans have officially cancelled a proposed fall concert (which would have taken place in September) and are considering canceling the annual spring event. Student leaders have told admins that "canceling Bacchanal was a misguided way to fight sexual assault, because it simply distracted from and disguised the underlying causes of sexual violence, rather than creating a campus culture in which students could safely participate in schoolwide, community events."
The full press release from multiple student executive boards—including the valiant battle between student leaders and the administration, some financial issues, and typical communication problems—is under the cut, along with a response from the Coalition Against Sexual Violence and No Red Tape.
We are disappointed to confirm that, despite our objections, a planned Fall Bacchanal concert that was set to take place this September has been cancelled, and this year's Spring Bacchanal Concert has been placed under administrative review.
Following this year's spring Bacchanal, the Bacchanal Committee met with the Activities Board at Columbia (ABC) and the four undergraduate Student Councils about the possibility of hosting the first Fall Bacchanal, in addition to the annual spring concert. The idea had first been discussed in early April and was solidified during F@CU sessions in the spring. The Office of Student Engagement, which is responsible for representing the administration to student groups and overseeing campus events, approved Fall Bacchanal on May 15th and secured Low Plaza as a concert venue. The first offer to a performer was submitted the following day and was signed off by Bacchanal's advisor. Throughout May, June, and July, the Committee booked two more artists and was in frequent communication with the Office of Student Engagement about the event; administrators in the Office of Student Engagement themselves submitted signed offers for the three artists on June 5, June 23, and July 7. By July 8th all three artists were confirmed for a show on September 14.
Extensive planning was done by the Bacchanal Committee to ensure a safe and successful event. Further, every suggestion made to improve safety measures from Bacchanal's advisors were met without hesitation. At no point was Bacchanal given any indication of administrative concerns until July 28, when Bacchanal CoPresident Benjamin Kornick was called into a meeting with the Bacchanal advisors from Student Engagement and the Interim Dean of Student Life. Ben was informed at the meeting that the four undergraduate deans had recently met and decided not to allow the fall show to proceed. During that meeting, no specific details were given as to the reasons behind the cancellation other than general comments about safety concerns associated with drinking and sexual harassment and that the concert was too close to the start of the school year.
The following day, the four undergraduate Councils and ABC met with members of the Bacchanal Committee to address the sudden cancellation. On Tuesday morning, Bacchanal Executive Board members sent emails to the four undergraduate deans requesting more information about the reasoning behind the cancellation. The email requested the opportunity to meet and discuss the cancellation so the committee and Councils could attempt to first understand and then address the deans' concerns. None of these emails received any response. On Wednesday, July 30, one of the Council presidents met with their undergraduate dean and received a preliminary explanation for the cancellation. That night, representatives of the Bacchanal Committee, the executive boards of all four undergraduate student Councils, and ABC wrote a letter detailing numerous concerns regarding the cancellation, including the fact that this decision was made without any consultation with students, after approval had been given for months, and after artists had been confirmed, meaning that, in line with standard industry practice, the Bacchanal Committee would still be obligated to pay $55,000 of undergraduate student life fees to the artists whether or not they performed. The letter further stated students' belief that canceling Bacchanal was a misguided way to fight sexual assault, because it simply distracted from and disguised the underlying causes of sexual violence, rather than creating a campus culture in which students could safely participate in schoolwide, community events. The letter also articulated several proposals to make Bacchanal a safer event for students.
This letter was sent to the four undergraduate deans on Thursday morning, signed by the executive boards of all four undergraduate Councils, the executive board of ABC, the executive board of SGB, the executive board of GBB, and all six undergraduate University Senators, addressing every concern we were made aware of from the deans' perspectives, and addressing the deans' lack of direct communication with the Bacchanal Committee. Council members requested that the undergraduate deans meet with the Bacchanal Committee.
On Friday, August 1st, various Council members and Bacchanal CoPresident Meredith Venerus were able to speak to other undergraduate deans. The deans outlined their concerns surrounding safety at the concert, and agreed to communicate more directly with the Bacchanal Executive Board going forward. On Monday, a formal safety proposal was submitted to the four deans, detailing effective measures to improve crowd control and fight excessive drinking. Similar details had previously been provided to Student Engagement. The proposal also suggested changes to the concert theme that would convey a positive message, address the deans' concerns, and facilitate a change in campus culture. Other safety measures were proposed, including plans to give out backstage passes to students who participated in bystander intervention trainings provided by Sexual Violence Response and hosted by Bacchanal, to provide water stations and food inside the fences, and to bar graduate students from the event (graduate students accounted for six out of thirteen CUEMS hospital transports at Bacchanal 2013). It is also worth mentioning that we offered to move the concert to a seated venue if that was what it took to provide the security the deans required to reverse the cancellation and sign off on the event.
The letter also requested for the deans to meet with the Bacchanal Committee before deciding the fate of the event for a second time. On Friday, August 8, the Deans responded to the Bacchanal Committee and the four Councils, thanking them for their thoughtful proposals but writing that the cancellation of the Fall Concert was final and putting the status of the annual spring event in question. However, a second decision was made without meeting with the Bacchanal Committee to hear their perspective and give them a chance to alleviate any concerns. The deans agreed to cover the $55,000 that Bacchanal owed to the artists due to contracts that had already been approved. While the student group will be reimbursed, we feel this is an unacceptable waste of money that would have otherwise gone towards meeting student needs a waste that could have easily been avoided through open communication.
We are concerned and troubled by the process of this cancellation and the lack of
communication with students in making this decision. We strongly believe Bacchanal is a valuable community-building event and that this event can be held safely. Had the deans raised their concerns with the Bacchanal Committee and the four Councils earlier in the process, we could have worked together to find solutions to all concerns. Instead, approval was granted and then revoked, without consultation with any students involved. It is our sincere hope that this will be an impetus for change; we believe students should have direct and open communication with decisionmakers. We also believe that $55,000 is too steep a price to pay for miscommunication within the administration, and it is our hope that future decisions— including the approval of the annual Spring Bacchanal concert—will be conducted in collaboration with student groups.

The response from the Coalition Against Sexual Violence:
The Coalition Against Sexual Violence is deeply troubled by the Columbia administration's choice to cancel the Fall Bacchanal concert and to place the spring concert under review. We feel strongly that this is a band-aid, not a solution, in the fight against sexual assault on Columbia's campus. The goal of our work is and has always been to create a culture of consent on campus which makes all events and spaces safe for students — cancelling Bacchanal sends the false message that the concert is the cause of sexual violence.
Harassment and assault at Bacchanal may be more visible, but sexual violence is prevalent throughout the year, and will happen in Columbia residence halls, buildings, and events whether or not this event takes place. These incidents will still occur; they'll just occur in EC or John Jay, instead of Low Steps. Cancelling the event only serves to ignore and distract from the true reasons for sexual violence on campus — inadequate consent education, a lack of accountability, and rape culture. Bacchanal does not create these conditions, and we feel strongly that cancelling it is a misguided decision which restricts students' choices rather than working towards a community where we can all safely interact, learn, and grow together.
This year, the Bacchanal Committee had several proposals to make the event one which promotes a safer, responsible community, in which students hold each other accountable for their actions. These safety proposals included training dozens of students in bystander intervention (consistently found to be one of the most effective methods in fighting sexual assault) to be student safety monitors during the concert. Bacchanal suggested giving backstage meet-the-artists passes to students volunteers as an incentive to be trained in bystander intervention by Sexual Violence Response and to serve as student safety monitors, who could be placed throughout the crowd, intervene in any dangerous situations, and be easily identified by any students who felt uncomfortable at any point. This method has been effective at ensuring safety at other student events, such as GenderF*ck. Not only would this serve to make the concert environment safer, this would also provide an opportunity for dozens of people to be trained in bystander intervention, skills that they could carry out into the larger community.
Finally, CASV strongly believes that a culture of consent can only be built within a strong community deeply rooted in respect. A large, community-building event like Bacchanal acts as one of the only campus wide events that undergraduates have to bring them together. We believe Bacchanal, an important community-wide event, can and should be used as a locus of cultural change. Cancelling the concert not only distracts from the real causes of sexual violence, it prevents us from taking valuable steps that may actually combat sexual violence.
Ultimately, we're concerned that cancelling the fall concert will only hide highly visible instances of assault and silence survivors, sweeping sexual violence back under the rug instead of taking affirmative steps to fight it.
At least one member of the Coalition is in dissent with this statement.
Update (10:09 pm): No Red Tape issued the following statement.
We are dismayed by the four undergraduate Deans' recent decision to cancel the Bacchanal fall concert and place the spring concert under review.
We are acutely aware that sexual violence is a problem at Columbia University and that perpetrators of sexual violence often take advantage of social events, particularly those where alcohol and drug use is common, to assault members of our community. This is completely unacceptable.
However, we do not agree that canceling the event is a way to address these serious concerns.
The reason that sexual assault has been an issue at Bacchanal is not because of Bacchanal itself. It is because of rape culture. Without Bacchanal, there will still be assaults and there will still be violence on campus. It will simply be less visible. The administration's idea that canceling Bacchanal will eliminate violence shows their complete misunderstanding of the root of violence and places blame on alcohol or drugs instead of a culture in which we do nothing when those around us are hurt.
There are concrete, tangible, practical changes that can be made to make Bacchanal–and our campus culture–safer. We stand firmly by the proposals we have made in the past for mandatory, continuous prevention programming for all students, especially bystander intervention training. By empowering every member of the Columbia community to recognize and stop violence when it occurs, we can severely curtail the social license to operate that enables perpetrators of sexual violence, which in turn will decrease violence. As student council and Bacchanal staff leaders have already suggested, training student safety monitors to maintain the safety of Bacchanal would be a fantastic way to enjoy our spring concert while ensuring that perpetrators do not take advantage of the event to violate others' boundaries.
Strengthening and expanding Public Safety's training program to better respond to incidents of sexual and domestic violence is also an important step that administrators can take to make Bacchanal safer. Significantly reforming our investigation and adjudication process to hold perpetrators accountable when they rape or assault other students will serve as a powerful deterrent to perpetrators if they know Columbia sees sexual violence not as a PR problem but its top priority in eradicating.
Canceling a concert does nothing to actually prevent sexual violence. Contrary to the implications of this decision, the vast majority of Columbia students are not perpetrating violence. They simply aren't trained to prevent it or intervene when it happens. This will be the case at a dorm or fraternity party, at a local bar, or a concert off campus. If the Deans truly cared about ending violence, they would listen to students and take the steps we have outlined here and in countless meetings.
Ending violence is not easy. It will require us to try multiple initiatives and mandate serious prevention programming for the entire Columbia community. Because violence will not stop by canceling a concert. It will stop when this administration recognizes and takes serious steps to dismantle rape culture.
Note: One NRT member dissents on this issue. All others are in consensus about this statement.
@Anonymous http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/13/nyregion/columbia-cancels-concert-amid-safety-concerns.html?partner=socialflow&smid=tw-nytmetro&_r=3
this spokesperson is lying out of his/her ass on multiple points, and not doing any favors to make students understand or feel heard
wonder how the university feels about all the other ivies/academically competitive universities who have multiple community events a year.
@Anonymous remember that time the administration wanted to get to the core of campus wide mental health issues? ….. so they then proceeded to place bars on all the windows . i'm starting to see a trend.
@kj I kinda see what the administration is doing here. Last year i was on the steps and these girls in front of me were jumping up and down and seeing their boobs jiggle gave me an erection. Now due to the close quarters and my above average size my boner was far enough out that when one girl stumbled back she bumped into it and i mean full ass to dick bump too. Now im not normally about doin it in the stinky. and my mind was telling me no, but my body was telling me yes and I jizzed. She must not have noticed what had happened because she kept jumping up and down and got covered in my man milk. And kids that's how i met your mother.
@Stop Whining Oh boo hoo hoo, the big bad Columbia administration canceled an event at which literally hundreds of kids got hammered drunk, did all sorts of drugs, and some kids committed sexual assault. No shit they did. Is Columbia just supposed to accept cave's and rape as the unfortunate side effects of an indispensable community building concert? Grow up.
@maybe they're genius? Has anyone considered that maybe the administration is just trying to scare the student body into behaving? Maybe this is a great thing! They won't actually cancel the spring concert but imagine everyone on campus thinking it's a possibility. Who would want their one night of sexual power to cancel an event for the entire student body? I definitely would not want bachannal's cancellation to be my fault. Let's see how the campus vibe changes in the fall when everyone is on their best behavior before we really claim the admins don't understand sexual assault.
@consider this If anything, it won't decrease sexual assault, it just might make victims remain silent because they'll fear that their peers will get mad at them for getting the event cancelled. This is literally just going to harm victims even more, and force more silence (which is already a problem).
@Twitch The administration's response makes perfect sense.
It's a threat.
"Sue us, and we'll take away the one thing you care about."
@Abdullah The decision to cancel highlights the inherent problem or contradiction in the feminist fight against "rape culture." Modern feminism has become an ideological justification for a libertine, non-judgmental party culture (see university "sex weeks," bacchanal parties etc.) However, said culture increases the likelihood that some women will fall victim to assault and rape from predators who take advantage of the loosening of social norms. Feminists have to realize that some sexual norms and traditions are quite useful and protect us all from the evil that lurks on all campuses. I support the administration's decision.
@Au contraire Mr abdulla.. Your comment highlights the reason why the feminist fight must go on. When you say that Columbia should cancel an event because it "increases the likelihood that some women will fall victim to assault and rape"….you are ignoring the heart of the issue. A women should have the right to act however she sees fit to act at a party–without any fear of being sexually assaulted. Period. The party environment itself is not the problem. The problem lies with the people who have no respect for human dignity and think they have a free pass to assault and rape. Regardless of whether Bacchanal happens, these people will continue to target their victims. Canceling Bacchanal is futile. It does absolutely nothing because it doesn't address the source of the issue.
@Anonymous Yeah just do walk around drunk in Brownsville because you should be able to do whatever you want without fear of repercussions like being robbed/raped since it is NOT OKAY that bad people exist in this world and it's not incumbent on you to be aware of them or take precautions around them.
@Another voice "A women should have the right to act however she sees fit to act at a party–without any fear of being sexually assaulted. Period."
Man or woman, you cannot expect to get blackout drunk and have control over what happens to your body.
As a woman, I have two choices to protect myself until there are no more serial rapists or perverts in the world: get smashed and hope they're not in the house that day (because everyone else is too drunk to protect me), or take precautions. I happen to think there are a lot of disgusting people in the world, who I am not apologizing for, but who I want to protect myself from. The solution is not to get drunk in an unsafe environment.
The administration cannot stop sexual assaults from happening; they can only punish the perpetrators. It's up to students not only to protect others but to protect themselves. They can weed out the rapists, but we can pre-emptively stop the conditions of rape–which are sex with people you don't know well, and conditions in which everyone is too drunk to stop it from happening.
Final point of what I admit is a rant: Bacchanal, people say, is Columbia's only day of campus-wide community. This is personal, but I don't think it's the best kind of community. I think it's sad that people assume they have to get drunk and party to enjoy Bacchanal.
@idea Can't we just do Bacchanal anyways? Like, we don't even need an artist. Just everybody gets wasted on the lawn together in a huge awesome protest. They can't punish thousands of us!
@so glad I graduated sucks for y'all. blame the false rape accusers – you brought this upon the columbia community. now the administration is too worried about the false rape victims suing the school
@Bacchanal (behind 7 firewalls) Look, I'm on the Bacchanal Exec. Board. Since I already spilled the beans in two other threads, I might as well post this in public. We had Arcade Fire, Coldplay and Muse lined up for the fall show. Yeah, alt. rock. Wanted to change the pace. We're pretty fucking pissed at what happened, but we don't blame NRT or any other of the anti-sexual violence folks… In fact, we would've welcomed measures to make the show a safer place. Bang up job, Columbia
@Bubblewrap Fest Don't worry students, we've replaced this horrible event with Bubblewrap fest. We'll listen to single-a-longs from Barney & Friends while wearing SFPE approved bubblewrap boiler-suits. Water only, because we all know the harmful effects of sugar and caffeine. We don't want to get to excited kids.
@fuck you, columbia no seriously. this is a flagrant, symbolic middle-finger to sexual assault survivors on this campus, and every one of their friends and supporters. not because bacchanal is *so important*, but because there are administrators who were paid actual money, to waste even more money, on doing something nobody asked for, which will have no positive effect beyond their little press release–rather than doing LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE to make this community safer and more supportive
@i'd like to hear... from the members of NRT and CSV who dissented with their organization's statements. is it that they personally don't like bacchanal, that they think canceling bacchanal *is* a good sexual assault prevention move, or………?
@Anonymous it was only one person (same for each) and apparently they agreed with the deans for…some reason.
@To be fair Their reasoning was grounded in serious concern for student safety that were clearly given more thought than anything the admin has provided. However, I won't pretend to speak for this person. Only to express that their dissent was grounded in ending a culture of rape as opposed to one of public image the way columbia seems to be doing.

@echoing what people have said but still need to vent shutting down one event to prevent x number of sexual assaults is not a solution to the problem. sexual offenders don't NEED bacchanal to assault someone; they find plenty of other ways to do it.
what pisses me off is there is this subtle implication that sexual violence at columbia is just our own fault because obviously we all just drink too much, get soOOoO crazy at bacchanal, and just start attacking each other… when in reality the problem is our administration's lack of any sort of real support system or effective judicial process for perpetrators.
@cc'13 The referenced comment does not say that preventing x number of sexual assaults is wrong. It suggests that while cancelling a campus event may prevent x number of sexual assaults, it does not address the actual issue. As the comment stated, there are other ways/places/means for sexual offenders to assault someone. Cancelling Bacchanal is like cutting off one finger on a gangrenous hand. Don't get all uppity because you think you found someone condoning sexual assault; just read the comment more closely.
@CC 15 Can you imagine if someone tried to use this excuse to ban an entire group of people from participating in a campus event? "Half of the behavioral incidents at last year's X were from members of Y group, so no one in that group can come this year." And are we really going to pretend there weren't a ton more than 6 undergrads who were CAVA-level drunk? (I bet one reason undergrads weren't CAVA-ed as much is because at Bacchanal we're usually part of a big group where actively avoiding CAVA-ing is part of the mission.)
@uh c/o 2018 And we fucking wonder why this school has such a shitty yield rate, lower than fucking Penn.
@Anonymous We have a slightly lower yield rate because the College cross admits with Harvard, Yale and Princeton, and Engineering cross admits with MIT. Penn does not cross admit with those schools. We also take fewer early admits, which also effects yield significantly. Harvard and Princeton take upwards of 60-65% early, Columbia takes about 40%.
@Anonymous the university pulls shit like this with smaller student groups all the time only now its escalated to an outrageous point.
student leaders of student groups spend most of their time working on their groups and this shows that the university has absolutely no respect whatsoever for the work we do. they want to tout it in brochures and on tours, but at the end of the day they could care less if we have vibrant extracurricular lives.
columbia, you've disappointed me.
@student group leader I thought you were going to say "student group leaders spend most of their time working around the administration"
@soz it unfortunately does not get decided this far in advance usually, hence the need for the bacchanal club
@Here's a thought On both sexual assault and the concert issues, hit the administration where it hurts: College Confidential.
@An Idea Dear Columbia Administration:
Here's a tip: If you want to decrease and discourage sexual assaults from occurring on campus TRY CONVICTING SEXUAL ASSAULT SUSPECTS WHO HAVE STRONG EVIDENCE AGAINST THEM! Studies show that when there is a strong punishment enforced people think there could be severe consequences for their crime and thus are less likely to do it. Just a thought.
@Anonymous Except all the studies showing how the death penalty does nothing on crime rates in states with them? Oh wait, is this the wrong circlejerk?
@Community-builder Stage sit-ins vs NSOP. 55k is almost a year's tuition for someone on financial aid; while a party might seem insignificant, the only way to get their attention and communicate that "business as usual" is unacceptable is to shut down orientation activities and the start of classes.
@if you read it closely... …it's actually not. (the admin agreed to cover it so the 55k won't come out of student life fees.)
that said, it's still an enormous waste of money.
@Anonymousk the deans are paying for it out of their budgets and those budgets are filled with money that students pay. so we're still paying $55 grand for their mistakes. the loss is just being shifted from one bucket to another. that's like 5,500 burritos…
@BC'16 Hats off to those who wrote this press release — not that the administration is known for responding to reason, let alone putting it to use.
55k is almost the cost of a full year's tuition. This is an insult to the parents who work so hard to pay that and to the students who enjoy bacchanal (sober or otherwise!) safely and responsibly, as well as gross approach to a misunderstood sexual assault problem on our campus on the part of the administration.
@god fucking damn it the fact that this is being framed as out of concern for sexual assault is so fucking infuriating. NONE of the activism pushing for sexual violence prevention on campus has had ANYTHING to do with bacchanal – it's about disciplinary processes, support for survivors, improved access to resources, and training/education. is the administration seriously so bone-headed that instead of addressing the ACTUAL CONCERNS of students, they're attacking a completely unrelated and well-loved campus tradition under the guise of "caring"?
can't wait for a super vague and uninformative update from our beloved deans! cute look, guys!
@CC 2016 Actually it might be a deluded response to sexual assaults, one that smacks of victim blaming. Our fun is what causes this bad shit to happen; if undergrads didn't get drunk and party they'd be more aware of people trying to abuse them. We have a clear choice, study all day or get sexually assaulted.
@NO SOUP FOR YOU It's almost retaliatory, as if Bacchanal was a privilege to be lost by students who dare point out the blatant inadequacies of CU's sexual assault response mechanisms.
@Arsene Wenger Breaking: University bureaucrats push back against the one day that students get to act like students
@Anonymous Get the councils & students together for a protest on Low Plaza during NSOP and invite NY Times/NY Post/Local Press. Have people tell reporters that instead of actually addressing the underlying concerns of sexual violence, Columbia is only seeking to band-aid the situation.
Administrators only care about public image.
@eh I'm all up for getting organized and pissed off but I sure hope as hell that the Times doesn't actually think this story fit for coverage. I mean like, you know about the other stuff going on in the world right now, right?
*Bacchanal might be canceled* (high pitched scream) CALL THE NEW YORK TIMES!!!!!
Jesus. The most Ivy League reaction possible.
@Anonymous An article written already: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/08/columbia-cancels-concert-solves-campus-assault.html
University sexual assault got a lot of national press attention and the attention of a lot of US Senators. So perhaps a protest against hypocrisy will get a least a small article written.
@Ok really Can you please take a step back and realize what a laughingly privileged thing it is to believe with all your heart that the Times should be covering the hemisphere-shaking catastrophe of a college concert getting canceled? Like, "Tensions mounting and confrontations escalating in Ferguson, MO, after the shooting of an unarmed teen by the police. Also breaking news: Columbia University students threaten to throw rocks at administrative buildings after fall concert is canceled. Not after it was reported that another rapist was excused. Not after it was discovered that the school was hospitalizing people against their will. After they canceled a concert."
@Anonymous Could you at least complete our state school aspiration blueballs and tell us who we're missing?
@Anonymous Have every student at Columbia continuously email all 4 undergraduate deans, student life deans, and other administrators every few hours with an email. We have to show them that thousands of students care.

@Anonymous CU cancelled bacchanal as a retaliatory measure to make us hate the feminists (as if we didn't already). that way, we subconsciously blame these fuckers. without these ridiculous, self-righteous attention whores who call drunk sex rape (which is the worst argument ever bc that means both parties rape each other! not just the girl) forced a GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT doctrine. under the most retarded of all interpretations of title ix.
Now, self-respecting men have decided not to take the feminist's blatant disregard of men's equal right to due process sitting down. The falsely-accused have taken the issue to court, and rightly so.
Columbia doesn't like this. Legal cases are costly, and often lengthy.
If it werent enough that its students cried wolf about rape and have demonized Columbia in the media, Columbia now has to deal with legal cases. Clearly, Columbia is fed up with its student body's sophomoric behavior.
So, they have given their feminist's exactly what they wanted. A rape free environment. If the feminist's protest, they look like hypocrites. Columbia can improve its public image while punishing those responsible for hurting its bank account, and squandering its time with lawsuits.
All of you will undoubtedly attack this post because you hate hearing the truth. Sure, I was a bit brusque with the assertion that most were false rape accusation (not all were, but at least one). But, people can't handle the truth. So glad I left this school for a much better one where people aren't dumb as shit. To be fair, many of the people involved in causing these school-wide issues are Barnardians, and not Columbians. Feminism tends to attract uglier women, and dumber women who cannot cut it in sciences.


text: Why biofeedback would help this problem: Many people with asthma have an unusual breathing pattern in which they take a deep breath and then breathe in and out with very shallow, rapid breaths rather than exhaling all the way. This prevents their being able to take reasonably deep breaths and leaves them chronically short of breath. Many workers consider it essential to train asthmatics not to barrel breathe. Pneumographic biofeedback is perfect for detecting and retraining this pattern. Asthmatics can be taught to recognize and correct abnormal interactions between heart rate variability and breathing. Correcting this abnormal relationship has been shown to reduce the symptoms of asthma.

Ward a start for Terriers
Danny Ward scored after just 47 seconds as Huddersfield beat toothless Derby 1-0 to continue their encouraging start to life in the npower Championship.
The former Bolton winger caught the Rams cold when he turned in Adam Hammill's cross and that proved to be enough to give the Terriers their second win of the season.
After a terrible start, Derby played some attractive football but they lacked a cutting edge and were unable to rescue a point which would have been no more than they deserved.
Huddersfield have lost just once since returning to the second tier and look very much at home at this level, with Simon Grayson having blended together a well organised side.
The Derby coach was late arriving after being held up in traffic and Nigel Clough's side were caught napping after just 47 seconds when Huddersfield took the lead.
Hammill was the architect, with the on-loan winger making an instant impact on his home debut as he raced down the right unchallenged and was allowed to pick out the on-rushing Ward, who got in front of his marker and diverted the ball past Frank Fielding with a neat right-foot finish.
The Rams were guilty of some sloppy passing and continued to create problems for themselves but started to get into their stride with some slick passing and movement.
And it needed a great last ditch tackle from Terriers captain Peter Clarke to get team-mate Paul Dixon out of jail after the full-back's poor pass let in Jamie Ward, who laid the ball off to Connor Sammon. Clarke stepped in with a brilliantly timed tackle to deny the big striker as he was seemingly poised to equalise.
Derby continued to dominate possession but Huddersfield looked dangerous going forward and Craig Bryson breathed a sigh of relief when he headed a free-kick wide of his own goal.
Rams boss Clough clearly had a few words to say to his players at half-time as they made a bright start to the second half, but Huddersfield almost doubled their lead when Adam Clayton's drive was tipped around the post by Fielding.
But the Terriers were struggling to keep hold of the ball and Conor Doyle spurned a great chance to equalise when he fired over the crossbar at the far post after a good run from the lively Jamie Ward.
Former Terriers striker Theo Robinson was given a warm ovation when he replaced Sammon with 12 minutes remaining with Derby still enjoying plenty of possession but lacking quality in the final third.
Huddersfield sat deeper as the clocked ticked down and the Rams had a big shout for a penalty deep into stoppage time.
Referee Trevor Kettle waved play on when Jeff Hendrick went down in the area after a strong challenge in the air and the Terriers held on for all three points.

Karen Gillan has nothing to fear from mirrors in this movie.

I did an AM version of Slumgullion earlier today. Here are a few more items.
Tomorrow is the final day to check out critically acclaimed local artist Nicholas Sistler's SWEATSHOP exhibit at the Images Gallery on Wilson in Chicago. There will be a closing reception from 5:00 to 8:00 PM, and Sistler will conduct a tour of the gallery at 7:00 PM. Call 773-772-6726 for information.
Old 97's will likely be performing songs from their new Most Messed Up CD when they headline Hopefest 2014 at Park West on June 21st. So far, there's no mention of any other acts on the bill. Admission is $30 ($35 day of the show) and $75 will get you reserved seating. Proceeds from the event will support the work of The Chicago Coalition of the Homeless.
Earlier today on BHT I mentioned some of the TV and film stars who will be guests at C2E2 (Chicago Comic And Entertainment Expo) at McCormick Place this weekend. Lots of fun, no doubt, but Doctor Who fans might be looking to the north with a sense of envy. According to writer Dan Casey from The Nerdist website, Matt Smith and Karen Gillan will be among the celebrities gathering at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo. They have a panel discussion scheduled for tomorrow at noon. I don't have any recollection of Smith and Gillan ever visiting Chicago, but hopefully they'll consider it someday.
Meanwhile, Gillan's chilling new flick Oculus has been getting mostly positive reviews in the Chicago press, (I think Redeye was the only paper that panned it) for director Mike Flanagan's pacing and Gillan's acting. Critic Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune wrote, "Gillan rattles through a considerable amount of exposition in Oculus, and has a way of doing so that it makes the whole premise faintly comic yet completely grave underneath." Still, I think I'd rather see Gillan's romcom Not Another Happy Ending if it ever comes to America.
